BNFL to cut middle manager posts.
British Nuclear Fuels is to cut 500 jobs at the Sellafield plant in Cumbria in an attempt to save on overheads as it prepares to face private sector competition. The move comes two months after the state-owned company lost ownership of Sellafield to the newly created Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).
BNFL's British Nuclear Group now runs Sellafield as a contractor to the NDA and has already let go of 100 senior managers. It is targeting 500 more middle management posts in the second part of a shake-up.
"This is another step along the way of the change programme at Sellafield, as we prepare for the future as a decommissioning and clean-up organisation," said Barry Snelson, the managing director of Sellafield.
